Schoolchildren do not have much free time, because they have to go to school and do their homework. Still they have some time to relax. Teenagers from formal groups generally spend their free time doing sports, shopping or going out with friends, sightseeing and travelling; watching TV or listening to the music. Teenagers from informal groups spend their free time according to their values and beliefs. They team with those who share their interests and listen to the music that deviates from the mainstream. They may have parties or bike shows, navigate the internet or organize fan clubs.

In big cities some teenagers from informal groups (e.g. skinheads) gather in gangs. They drink alcohol, fight, break everything they see, and write on walls. They practice vandalism. They enjoy it, they have nothing else to do. Such teenage gangsters usually get into trouble. I find their behaviour terribly disgraceful.

Some other teens prefer to spend a lot of time indoors because they are TV addicts or fond of computer and video games. Some like to be alone because they are keen on reading or watching videos. I do not like this kind of pastime. It makes you passive. As for me, I prefer outdoor activities. I enjoy being with other people. There are lots of interesting things for us to do. There is no use to stay in and watch your telly.

Some teens are fans of a music group or a singer. They collect posters and records, visit concerts regularly. They like to sing songs of their pop or rock idols.

Other teens are sports fans or go in for sport themselves. British boys and girls play their traditional sport games, such as cricket, soccer, rugby, golf and tennis. American boys and girls usually play American football, baseball and basketball. Cheerleaders are very popular in the USA too.

My friend and I like to play basketball and volleyball. In summer we play beach volleyball, badminton and table tennis. But I would not like to join a sports team. I want to play just for fun, not to become a champion.

I know that in Britain and the USA many teenagers earn money after school or during vacations. They work for their pocket money or to support their families. They work in a pub, a shop or a golf club. If I could, I would work too, though in Russia teens have fewer job opportunities.

The best way for me to relax is travelling. I think, some travelling and working experience is rather important, because universities and potential employers are very much in favour of the students who have it.

Frankly speaking, I have no problem where to spend my free time. My friends and I face another problem: we don’t have enough free time. I hope that after my school and entrance exams I’ll have more time to relax.
